His eldest son, Prince Albert Victor,

sometime quartered at Aldershot (pro-
nounced Awldershot, by-the-bye) as a
lieutenant OF the Tenth Hussars. the
SWEETEST cavalry regiment in the Brit

the colonel. He has been gwen good

girl he met, so long as matters dld not
assume serious aspect. The poor
young fellow has kept pretty well with

one lair young maiden sunk her bright
eyes. rosy lips, pearly teeth and slender
ankles deeper in his princely heart and

ReverSes Of Fortune.

OF prominent persons the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
tells the following:
A few weeks since an member OF
congress, who had not been much in
Washington for u half dozen years or
more, made his temperance here,
and it was not long before those who
knew him of old discovered that times
had sadly changed withhina. He serv-
ed several terms in congress as the rep
resenta i've OF one OF the largest cities
OF the West; a man of handsome ap-
pearance, agreeable manners and of
much more than ordinary culture
He was n bachelor and agrert favor'te
in society. His standing in the house
was such that he was frequently call
ed to the chair of the presiding officer
and for short period served as
speaker by election of the house. Aft
er leaving congress he gave up his resi-
denCe in the state which he had serv-
ed, and going to New York city estab-
Gshed himself in a law partnership
with an ex-member from New York
anc another gentleman, who had also
tasted deeply of the pleasures of
Washington life. All three of the part
ners wen young, able, well connected
and with scores of influential friends.
Their business for a time prospered
and the future looked very bright.

The Work Of Napoleon I.

M. Taine, in his second monograph
on Napoleon, just published, pays a

but considers him one of the worst
enemies France ever had. "Al that

Gauls, he says, gained by confidinc

Gen. McClernand Will Fight

From the New York Herald.

Gen. McClernand, of Illinois, is q
fighter. Although we'll up in the sew
entities, he is still as full of pluck as he
was during the stormiest days of the
rebellion A few weeks, ago one of the
Generals old army chums died at his
home at Springfield. 4 meeting to
draft suitable resolutions of respect to
his memory was attended by num-
Der of his lends, among them Gen.
McClernand. One OF the speakers, IN
eulogizing the deceased, said; "And
SO when death came to claim him for
its victim he met it as peacefully and
calmly as the warrior who wraps the
drapery OF his couch about him and
lies down, to pleasant dreams"
After the meeting adjourned the
subject OF their conversation was the
immutable fate of all men and the
calmness with which their deceased
friend had met the grim destroyer.
''Ihat's the weak point in his char
acter. That's something / never liked
in him" said Gen. McClernand, angri-
ly.
The generals companions with Some
surprise asked, ''Why not, general?"
because" said the veteran OF @

SHE WANTED TO WRITE TO JONES.
The Ex-senator Laughs Over Deli
cate Missiye m His Mail.


A Detroit special says: Yesterday ex-
Senator Jones received letter which il
Illustrates the close kinship of sympathy
and the tender passion. 1t was deli
cate missive and emitted the faint odor
of blooming violets. 1t was written by
q woman in Illinois. She had heard of
ex-senator Jones, and the story of
his trouble had wrung her suscepti-
BILE soul. His towering intellect and
marked ability had long been the
object of her admiration. Her
heart went out TO him in the days of bis
affection, and then came the evidence of
that noble self-sacrifice of which wo-
man is capable. She did not suggest
herself as an ever-ready comforter III tho
midst of the ex-Senator's troubles, but
she had friend. This friend was
wealthy, and her abundance of this
worlds goods was amply sufficient to
smooth the pathway of the deposed
statesman during the rest of his allotted
time. She would be delighted should
he open correspondence with her.
There the modest suggestion ended,
but the inviting vista of golden opportu-
mites opened was as clear as this charm
ing day that ushers in the winter. The
ex-senator was amused. He laughed a
laugh rs CHEEKY as q school-boy's. He
never answered such letters and he paid
no attention to them, and in this posi-
five avowal was a suggestion that the
stalwart ex-statesman was not stranger

SLOWLY ROASTED TO DEATH.
A Prisoner Burned Alive in the Pres.
cnce OF a Crowd of People.

A Webberville (Mich.) special says !:
The cry of "Fire !" aroused the people
shortly before midnight last night, and
they rushed from their homes to find
the town lookup in flames. 1t was one
story wooden structure standing alone
in an open square. Above the cracking
of the flames cries were heard from an
inmate OF one of the cells. When the
citizens arrived the doomed man was
seen frantically beating the bars
of his cell and crying for help. The
people were powerless to rescue him and
In the presence of the crowd he slowly
roasted to death. Some of the crowd
made Intellectual attempts to rescue him,
but were driven away by the heat. The
pale face and glazing eyes of the mis-
cradle wretch were framed by the black,
unyielding bars of his cell door. Little
by little he was forced back, but only
when the bars became red hot did he
abandon all hope OF escape.
The horror of the situation proved
such a frightful mental strain on the
prisoner that he became insane. Tear
ing his scorched clothing off he dashed
himself against the bars and grabbed
the red-hot irons in the vain effort to
escape. An odor of burned flesh per-
vaded the air and made many of the
people sick. Frantically cursing the
crowd for not helping him the roasting
man rushed madly around the marrow
enclosure, while the spectators stood
rooted by horror to the spot. Gradually
his cries grew weaker, and he was seen
to sink to the floor, and soon all was
over.
The prisoner was Newhall Tyler,
thirty-eight years old. He had been
jailed for striking boy on the head.
Tyler had been on spree and the boy
had annoyed him. He fired the prison,
hoping he would be released thereby.

Minc ON the Potomac.
Ispscial to the Americana
WASHINGTON, December 1.--About a
year ago man named Kirk, who had
been engaged in mining in Georgia, dis
covered traces OF gold quartz on small
farm which he had purchased in the
ncichborhood OF the Great Falls Of the
Potomac, some sixteen miles from this
city. He had very little money of his
own, and called upon friend named b.
w. Clark, an engineer in the State
Department, TO help him carry on his
Investigations. Clark builta small stamp
mill, and a quantity OF the ore
was crushed, and an examination
was made 10 test the value Of the find.
II was discovered 10 bc OF considerable
value, and Kirk asccrtained that the
lead extended for more than mile into
the lands OF his neighbors Money was
needed. Clark was we'll acquainted with
Senator Sawyer, Of Wisconsin, and went
TO him for financial aid. Sawyer adj
vanced 81 LOCO, with which operations
were carried on. 1t is said that some
fifty tons of ore were quietly extracted
and sent to Philadelphia for assay. An
agreement was entered into by which
Senator Sawyer was TO have a half in
tcrest in the mine in return for $50, 1000,
which was to be used in securing the
other land through which the lead runs.
Senator Sawyer is reticent about the
matter, and does not care TO admit
that he has any interest in the mine.
1t is learned, however, that every
thing is ready for work on large scale,
and that several mining experts have
pronounced the outlook very promising.
Officials of the geologic survey who
were seen to-day insist that the story
telegraphed from Chicago this morning.
to the effect that DIR. Kempster intends
TO resign his position as superintendent
Of the insane asylum at Oshkosh to take
charge OF the find, is absurd in view OF
tae fact that the formation Of the coun-
try in the vicinity of the Great Falls is
such that il is impossible flat large
quantities of gold should be found there.
They admit that there is uore OF less of
the mineral in the vicinity of Washing
ton. but insist that there is not enough
of it anywhere in Maryland or Virginia
to make it worth while 70 mine.
